When a player fumbles the ball but and it rolls out of bounds before being recovered by another player, the team who fumbled the ball keep it and the ball is spotted at the point it went out. Is there anything in the rules to prevent a player deliberately fumbling the ball forward out of bounds to gain an extra yard or so?

I understand that the risk would not ever really be worth it but I was curious and guessed that someone on here would have the answer.

Yes. An "illegal forward pass" can be called which I believe is a 5 yard penalty from the spot of the foul.

Also within the last 2 minutes of a half a fumble cannot be advanced by the team that fumbles, the ball is placed at the spot of the fumble.

I was wondering what happened to time run-offs inside the 2 minute warning. I was under the impression 10 seconds was run off if there was a false start but this happened in the Eagles game and no such thing occcurred.

If a player fumbles and and the ball goes forward from where he fumbles, then the ball is spotted where he fumbled it.
If a player fumbles and the ball goes backwards then spotted where the ball went out of bounds.
